Complaints Received by the Commission
From Farmers in Dakota.
Naval Cadets Merit ROll-Amount OF

to a Clerkship.

WAsHINGToN, July 12-The Interstate
Commerce Commission has received a
long complaint from Nelson L. Derby, of
st. Thomas, Oak, which is supplementary
TO those already received from other farm
els OF that vicinity, alleging refusal on
the part of the Manitoba Railroad Com
pany to furnish cars for the shipment of
the wheat crop of that region. This, like
the previous complaints from that neigh
borhood, assumes to speak for the entire
community OF farmers and bears evidence
OF being the outcome OF general move.
ment of farmers for relief. 1t AYERS that
the local press is muzzled, that the free
pass system is in full operation as before
the passage of the Interstate law, and that
the prosperity of the community hangs
upon the Intervention of the commission.
1t is stated as the prevailing belief of the
farmers that the proprietor of a certain
elevator line, by collusion with the railroad
authorities, has reached a position from
which he controls the price of wheat, If
not through the entire country, certainly
through thespriDg wheat belt of the North
west"
The complaint narrates some past expe-
riences, among them the receipt of an order
from the railroad company to ship his
wheat through these particular elevators,
accompanied by an intimation that IL he
did not wish to do so he could stop raising
wheat. At one time he says the farmers
seized the cars they needed, despite the
railroad people, and loaded their wheat,
which resulted in the adoption of a plan
by the railroad of keeping their empty
cars at distance from the wheat stations.
A quorum of the commission are at
their desks to-day, and all are expected to
be present tomorrow, when hearing win
be given In the matter OF the complaint by
III
certain railroads, charging discrimination
in rates.

Reforms to be Introduced Into

LoEDoN, July 12.-Mr. Dillon resumed
the debate on the land bill in the Com
mons tonight. He said he rejected the
measure with contempt as utterly made
quate to meet the needs of the Irish tenants.
s. W. Russell, Liberal, said it was the de.
sire of the tenant farmers OF Ulster to see a
fair and determined effort made to settle
the question raised by the bill. This meas
ure would not satisfy them. He objected
to the tenant being compelled to go into
court against his will. The bill was de-
lusiOn as regards eyictions, and was the
closing of one door upon the power OF land
lords to evict only to open another.
Mr.. Shaw-Lefevre Home Rule Liberal)
said that notwithstanding the damaging
criticisms even of their liberal supporters,
the Government offered no concession with
the exception of the clause admitting lease
holders to the benefit of the act OF 1881,
and one or two minor proposals. He was
convinced the bill would do more harm
than good. The bankruptcy clauses
ought to be dropped, for
they would benefit no body but the rapa-
eious landlords. The bill offered no real
remedy for the main grievance of the Irish
tenents. The Government had increased
the difficulty by not consulting with the
Irish members OF the House, and the bill
would only aggravate the very evils it was
intended TO correct.
On motion of Lord Randolph Church.

Belle A. Danyers, who was lying i'll in

story. She was q member of the LYdia
Thompson company when that orgsniza-

Danvers was one of the most popular men,
bers of the company. She was at that time
a very beautiful young woman, twenty
years or so of age, with voice that pro m
ised to make her the rival of the most noted
singers of the day. She was an accom-
plished actress and an educated woman,
and was one of the few professionals who
were received in society" Miss Danvers
was with the Thompson company for
some time, when a throat trouble in

to leave. Her powers as a vocalist gone,
Miss Dsnvers dropped into obscurity and

her emacisled form was not wanted on the

Private Land Claims.

WASHINGTON, July II The Commission
er of the General Land Office has transmit
ted to the Secretary of the Interior for SUBJ
mission to Congress a report from the sur
veyor-general OF Arizona Territory, on the
private land claim known as the Tres Al
mos No. IL. The surveyor-general recon.
mends. that the claim be rel ected for sever
al stated reasons, among which are the fol-
lowing: That the United States possesses
the only bona fide title to the land
IN question, having purchased it
from the Mexican government for Just
consideration, under ana by virtue of the
Gsdsen treaty; that the location of the al
legged grant IS too indefinite and vague to
permit of an intelligent survey; that the al
legged grantee never accepted the alleged
grant according to law and custom, and
never entered into possession of II, and
that his title, If any ever existed, was
never recorded in the archives of Mexico,
and was never affirmed by any competent
authority.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
Appointed by the Seceders from the South
Carolina Epiacopal .COnferenCe.

Carolina Episcopal Conference.
CHARLESTON, S. C., July 1.-THE COM
mittee appointed by the clerical and lay
delegates who withdrew from the Diocesan
Episcopal Convention in Charleston, las {
May, have completed their statement OF
the cause which led to the withdrawal.
The committee begin by sketching the
history of the dividing question during the
last twelve years. They declare that the
decision of the bishop con-
vention was properly orgrnized when col
ored clergymen were sitting as members
OF il, and left them no alternate except a
dignified withdrawal. They believe the
seating of colored clcrygymen in the con-
vention to be not only unconstitution-
al, but dangerous; and in this
relation recall number oi
precedents. The COMMITTEE are conf.
dent that the actual and practical results
of admitting colored people into councils
and churches on equal terms with the
whites would be to force negro social
equality upon the people. The duty and
responsibility Of the church in the South
ern States in regard to the coloerd people
is duly recognized, but there is no call
ito take them into our councils"
In the view OF the committee, therefore,
the convention of 1887 was Illegal. The re-
port sets forth that those who withdraw
represented more than half of the church
membership, and paying two thirds of the
conventions expenses, the bishops fund
and the missionary fund.

New YORK, July 12.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: "The story circulated to-
day by one of the Wall street news agen-
cies, to the effect that the Baltimore and

Mr.. Garrett was anxious to sell and Mr..
Gould to obtain the property, was vigor.

noon as untrue. There is no truth in it
whatever" he said, mot word of truth
in the whole thing, and l have never been
offered the Baltimore aud Ohio Telegrap b
line for 100000. The whole thing is
nonsense"

Ohio option, confirmed Mr.. Gould's state
ment, but both he and Stayner declined
